Anna’s story during her growing years is finished. It can be found at: https://gibbsjohnsonfamilyhistory.com/lawless-family/
The story was built from a few newspaper articles and old letters that have survived over 100 years. Most of the letters were written when Anna was at school in Clyde Missouri. She received letters from her parents, sisters and brother, friends, and her Uncle Charles Lawless. Only summaries of the letters are in the story. They are a snapshot of the happenings of the time.
The timeline goes to 1915 when she married Oliver. A letter from Oliver is included from before they were married. Their marriage record was found at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lyons Nebraska. Those records also contained birth records for all their children except the youngest.
